I know Jimmy, I wouldn't win any awards for looks... I'm figgin toast right now.

Yeah know Jimmy, some guys down south by the name of Tony's Noyes ( maybe even related to Nick) wanted some sub so another freind (I've got two) wanted sub also so I said meet me in the bee yard I'll bring the sub & lift. What I would give to be stuck in a snow bank somewhere.

Hey Keith you got 12 thumbs up for that video? I thought you just had 2 friends.. BTW the bees are bringing in the real stuff down here in east Texas the past few days, it's like early March down here right now.
